For The Sake of My Pride - The Acorn

You always knew what you wanted

in fact you always fawn it how you had your plans laid out back then

But now you come to realize

the truth and the advice

about the best laid plans of mice and man

No I just can’t take it no I don’t think I’ll make it there’s too much at stake and I can’t abide

No I just can’t fake it not for the sake of my pride

Now as you get older

there’s more you’ve got to shoulder

everything comes down to the bottom line

In the eyes the beholder

just like I’ve always told her

now you’ve got to ask where it is you sign

No I just can’t take it no I don’t think I’ll make it there’s too much at stake and I can’t abide

No I just can’t fake it know that my heart is aching

it would be a mistake for the sake of my pride

for the sake of my pride

for the sake of my pride

Money always finds wealth

but illness rarely finds health

so crunch your numbers and pop your pills

When your final day comes

the balance and sums

won’t count for much as your grave gets filled

No I just can’t take it no I don’t think I’ll make it there’s too much at stake and I can’t abide

No I just can’t fake it know that my heart is aching

it would be a mistake for the sake of my pride

for the sake of my pride

for the sake of my pride
